During this trying, stressful, yet exciting time of year, we must pause to take a moment and appreciate what we have and what has been done in our community to help us all succeed and stay healthy.
Back in March, none of us envisioned still being in this situation come August. We thought the hot weather and people being able to get outside would help push this virus back to where it came from and allow us to get on with our “normal” lives. When that situation never came to light, it forced many businesses and individuals to start thinking about things from a different angle.
When it comes to taking care of children, ensuring they are receiving the education they need and deserve, the schools in Hill County have done an exemplary job! There have been countless meetings, Zoom calls, emails and phone calls between the school board members of different districts, teachers in those schools, and us here at the health department.
The guidelines that have been put in place for each district may look slightly different based off of a number of factors, however the overarching goal remains the same, and that is to provide high quality education to the youth of Hill County in as safe a manner as possible.
Whether you are sending your children to school full-time, keeping them home full-time, or utilizing some other hybrid schedule, you are doing what you believe is best for your child at this moment. Please know, that schools have put many hours of thought and planning into this process, and will continue to assess how to best serve the families of Hill County as things change in the future. We ask that you be patient and respectful of the decisions made, and know that these decisions were not made lightly.
We want to thank all of our Hill County schools for what they are doing to fight the COVID-19 battle in our community, and want to wish a happy and healthy school year to all students and faculty in Montana, especially those in Hill County.
